I no go lie, I respect this your write up. Chai, e b like professional shopper review. U even know where brands de for fade and tear. Thanks I really appreciate.
TravelRe: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by mimilyrics:
You can try Primark, they are cheap and since babies outgrow cloths fast, it won't hurt your pocket. For maternity wears, try ASOS or H&M.
You can also look out for sales as you'll get quality clothes for less and almost at same price at Primark's. Matalan sales are currently about 50%, you can check to see if you find something that suits you from there.

How about newborn wears ooo, where can one get quality and cheap (lol) maternity and newborn items please

I meant that was not my experience; I went about 3 months before my appointment and I was in and out under 2 hours. I paid $106 then, paid $110 for my LO in Dec.

TravelRe: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by mimilyrics:
grin Yesso grin I was delightfully surprised by the Tshirts, dresses and tights (they still usually look good when they don't fit anymore so they go to charity) when I got proven wrong but I can't buy jeans for myself from Primark because that one is premium tears loading. Their jeans, on about 2 occasions, made me feel unwanted draught of cold in the "under world" few weeks after purchase and I just gently stuck to matalan and M&S for my jeans.
My LO's Primark jeans, which usually see loads of rough play, lasts for as long as possible and it still looks good for charity when they grow smaller.
Shoes are also something I wouldn't buy at Primark.
LagosismyHome:
Is it Primark that you are hyping like this .....behave smiley cheesy grin.

Dont mind me sha, I just dont like that store . Got some clothes there 10 years ago after one wash the quality was appalling and never entered the shop again. Maybe over the years they have improved to deserve this praise... maybe

Getting a job after graduation is usually dependent on how well you sell yourself and your skills in relation to the job applied for so I can't categorically tell you which has more jobs availability after graduation.
What are your key strengths? Where do you have experience in? What would you really like to do after graduation? Will you be able to undergo internships or volunteer in either of the sector to enable you gain some experience which might help prepare you for the UK job market? These will enable you pick the one best suited for you.

TravelRe: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by mimilyrics:
Check Matalan, they are currently on sales and deliver within 15 days for sales items. They've got nice quality items. The George range by Asda is equally good too. Primark (though currently closed) is good for kid's wears and my LO has had some Primark stuff for about 2-3 years without issues.
In terms of dresses, Tshirts and tights, Primark products perform as well as other brands based on my experience. In terms of jeans trousers for kids, it performs just as well as other brands. In terms of jeans trousers for adults, Primark rips in the bum area (between the thighs) faster than Matalan/M&S brands while Primark cotton/office trousers do just as well as other brands but this can also be dependent on usage.
Just wash whatever brand you buy with a low temperature and the recommended setting while also using colour and dirt collectors in your wash to preserve the quality and increase length of time it's used for.
Chreze:
Yeah, I have google Zara near me and the open ones. I just wanted to know if there are other similar to Zara that are not popular but also have good stuffs. I like your hidden reply to the question. Please if you know any so that there can be multiple options for us, especially for our little man. I went to shop grocery at Asda and saw they sell clothes upstairs, prices were about that of Zara but quality not as that. I know people who have been here for years will know those stores that are not so popular but have good stuff especially for kids. I think ours we can get some from Zara and buy more later as we grow in the city.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by mimilyrics:
Normally no but according to an update on .Gov site ( https://www.gov.uk/guidance/financial-evidence-for-student-and-child-student-route-applicants ), a partner's statement can now be used if your partner is present in the UK or applying at the same time.
You might have to screenshot this and explain in a cover letter in case the ECO missed this updated information.

The 28-day count should start from the day after the money required hit the account. If you've had it for more than 28 days, just count 28 days backwards from your online submission day.
The end of the 28 days must not be older than 31 days before your application is submitted.
If you've had the money in your account for about 1-3 months before your application, you can print for the whole period up till your application date and leave the ECO to do the counting.
FieryJoe:
Hello People,

A quick question please!

Can I sponsor my wife - she being the applicant and still travel with her - family of 3?

Would appreciate your response.

According to most people's post on NL, renewing in the UK can be stressful and time consuming even though that's not my experience when renewing.
At the moment, getting appointments is uncertain though. Trying to renew my LO's Naija passport but haven't gotten an appointment for biometrics yet; they said that they would contact us with an appointment date when we applied last December.

UPDATED POST

Hello everyone, I hope that you are fine even during these unprecedented times. I wish to inquire about renewing my Nigerian Passport in the UK which will expire by July later this year. Without mincing words, getting first-hand information online for this has been very daunting. I will be grateful if anyone could provide his/her Passport renewing experience. I know that there is an ongoing restriction all over the UK, but I want to make plans for next month and I hope that I can renew the passport 6 months before it expires without stress. I look forward to reading from you all. Thank you for your time and esteemed consideration.

It should be since it's legally acceptable as a form of birth evidence in Nigeria but you should include a cover letter to explain the attestation of birth since you don't have an actual birth certificate to submit. This will ensure that the ECO doesn't discount it in case s/he isn't familiar with the use of birth attestation certificates in Nigeria.

1. No, it doesn't matter.
2. It doesn't matter if she doesn't change her name; the marriage certificate is enough to prove the link between you.
Pictures are just one of the ways to prove that you've got a genuine relationship so you can include your court wedding pictures along with some other ones.

Good day. I have some questions to ask

1, My 28days will soon be ready and i have not made any transaction into the account, do i need to run some or it doesnt matter

Are you under 18? Is your "guardian" legally appointed as your guardian by the courts? If you're above 18, was the person appointed as your legal guardian while you were under 18? If yes, you will need to present the court document (not court affidavit) that appointed the person as your guardian as part of your application.
As LagosIsMyHome advised, have your sponsor transfer the funds to your personal account. You can only use your parents' or as now updated, your partner's bank statements if you aren't using your own. Also note that you can only use personal, not business accounts.
EmeraldMars:

Dear Nairalanders,

I commend you all for the selfless contributions you have been making.

I really need your insight on this�

I submitted an application for a standard visitors Visa to visit my brother in London on the 1st of December (my 2nd application after the first since 2018) my application went normal and received messages as my application progresses but I didn't receive any refusal email and when my passport was ready for collection on the 30th of December. I wasn't issued any Visa and there was no refusal note included too ,up until now I still haven't received the reason for my refusal via email.

Please can kindly advise me on how to request for the reason for refusal or is there still any chance that I will get in on my mail.

Thanks.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by mimilyrics:
I would say cancel and resubmit, refunds take about 28 working days though less in some cases. I know that someone on here has had this rectified using a cover letter (can't remember who now) but that can have a negative outcome if the ECO misses it for any reason.

Your spouse will apply as a dependant with your wedding certificate (plus pictures) as proof of your union. This will be in addition to the TB test result, bank statement showing the money in your account for at least 28 days before applying. If you're in the UK, a copy of your BRP will be needed, if not, your vignette and visa details.

Get it an affidavit and go to WAEC to correct. If that's impossible for any credible reason, submit the affidavit with your application and address the discrepancy on a cover letter.
If the WAEC isn't listed on your CAS, just ditch it.

Hello my travel gurus.

I seek some clarification on uploading financial evidence for my UK visa applications. I operate 2 accounts and also have 2 investment certificates (t.bills and fixed deposit).

My question is; do I upload all these as a single file (under financial evidence) or do I repeat the the financial evidence category 4 times for each bank statement and investment certificate?
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by mimilyrics: 4:43pm On Jan 05, 2021
Yes to both questions. TB certificates are valid for 6 months so you'd need a new one if the old one expires before you apply. There were concessions for expired TB certificates last year because of Covid-19; that might or might not apply this year.
